PTSD Radio 1 (Vol. 1-2): Omnibus (PTSD Radio 2-in-1)

Product Information

From what they say, his latest manga PTSD Radio is so abhorrent that it has started to affect his health. Reports of Nakayama suffering Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) all of the sudden during its production are often mentioned to confirm this alleged curse. The fact that PTSD Radio is apparently on hiatus since its sixth volume seems to corroborate the author’s reticence to keep working on this manga.

An unseen hand tugs at your braid. You find an old box with only a tangled mess of dark hair inside. You open a door in your home only to witness a river of curls slinking away, an ominous lump at its heart. What was the genesis of this project, the initial vision? Did you always plan to embed a larger mythos within the story? NAKAYAMA: When I was a kid, my uncle on my father's side got me and a bunch of my cousins together at my grandma's house to tell scary stories, and that's where my interest started. As a matter of fact, though, I'm quite the scaredy-cat! I can't bring myself to watch horror movies or TV horror series. I won't go into haunted houses, and I'm too scared by other horror manga to read anything but my own work! Maybe it's because I'm so readily scared that I'm so full of frightening ideas—it might be exactly what enables me to create these stories. the stories we've shared are connected in some way?" directly within its dialogue. But it still mostly Some people might find the fact that the stories start to follow a certain pattern as a con, making them feel predictable. Of course, it's up for everyone to decide whether that kind of format is entertaining for them or not. As for me, in the vast majority of them it wasn't a problem at all. However, for the sake of this review, I felt it was worth of mentioning this aspect.Traumatic Haircut: Done to a young girl in a rural village, though apparently as some kind of ritualistic safety precaution by her family, to stop the "god of hair" from taking it, and threatened towards a strange transfer student by a gang of bullies. Later on, there are indicia that it's a very old tradition, that has something to do with the ultimate source of whatever's happening. NAKAYAMA: There's no particular message. The commingling of past and present simply shows that wills can be connected across time and space.

Shortly after settling in his new studio, he suffered from Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). Curiously, this happened right after talking with his team about what happened in the previous office. After recovering and trying to make sense of everything, he decided to tell his experience through these extra chapters. What first got you interested in the horror genre? What was the first work of horror that truly made you feel scared? Explosive Breeder: The Body Horror things multiply copiously inside human bodies, and exit in a rush via any available orifices.Room Full of Crazy: One of the weird boy's victims obsessively writes invitations to the God of Hair into the walls and floors of his room. Protagonist Journey to Villain: It's shown that in the distant past, the God of Hair was a benevolent force that helped villagers as long as its rituals were properly observed. However, its power was badly abused by several prominent people to kill off their rivals and have a largely innocent but compulsively loyal woman pay for the crime. Having its main totem smashed likely didn't help either. NAKAYAMA: Hmm… I'm no exorcist, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think if you run into a being like that, the best thing to do is not to take it too seriously. Most of them are just figments of your imagination. Most of them…probably… plaguing all the other entries in the book, and bluntly drops the supposition "Could it be that all

This was not a good idea though. It seemed that whatever was haunting him did not want him to talk about it, because the disgrace around him increased. For this reason, he put on hold the publication of further extra chapters involving his old office but not PTSD Radio itself. Is PTSD Radio still on hiatus? Carried into modern Japan from a forgotten past, the being known as Ogushi haunts and tortures humans of all kinds. Little is know about Ogushi's curse, except that it resides in an unexpected place: human hair.Oct 25 Yearning Teens, Frustrated Romance, Pretty Skies — Is There Anything Else to Makoto Shinkai?

For the most part, there is no real resolution or narrative rigidity; typically the protagonists will remark, either in narration or in dialogue, on a figure evident only to them, and the story will conclude on the revelation or the assertion of this phenomenon as real, stopping right before any explicit confrontation to make it clear that there is no real chance for them, no playing field even resembling level. Ogushi can't be accurately described as an active organizing or orchestrating force; the deity may serve as a starting point or a framework, but author Masaaki Nakayama's tendency is to treat it as almost extra-narrative: to be remarked on, but perpetually out of reach. NAKAYAMA: I hadn't heard the expression “jump scare” [an English expression that has no perfect Japanese equivalent] before. You're right that surprising or frightening the audience is a major element of this kind of work, but sheer terror isn't the only thing I'm going for. I think the biggest thing is to shake readers emotionally, but only ever so slightly. That slight disturbance grows within each reader in its own unique way; that's what's important. What that seed grows into—the direction it takes, how widely it spreads, how deep it goes, how deep it is, its color and smell—are outside of my control, and that's the real key to transmitting a creative work.

Now as for the rumors, this is what really happened with Masaaki Nakayama. According to the extra chapters included in volumes 5 and 6 of PTSD Radio, he indeed started to experience strange occurrences. However, the source of them is not the manga itself, but the office he used as a studio for its production.
